ABOUT DR. RECTOR

With over 25 years of experience in hip and knee procedures, Dr. James Rector was the first surgeon to perform Birmingham Hip Resurfacing in Colorado.


Dr. James Rector

Although hip resurfacing has been part of mainstream European orthopedics for a decade, the FDA granted U.S. approval to Birmingham Hip Resurfacing in May 2006. One of a limited number of U.S. surgeons to be trained and certified in this procedure, Dr. Rector has performed more than 165 hip resurfacing arthroplasties since June 2006. He also has extensive experience with other forms of total hip replacement, including ceramic-on-ceramic and metal-on-metal bearing surfaces.

Dr. Rector and his team are dedicated to providing the best surgical experience to patients needing hip resurfacing. Dr. Rector lives in Boulder, Colorado, with his family. He stays active with competitive trap shooting, biking, skiing, and playing softball. He's been the team physician for Boulder High School sports teams since 1980.
